Orienteering is a sport that combines map reading and running. Competitors have to find their way between a series of checkpoints, called controls, as quickly as possible. There’s no set route between the controls, so you have to decide which way to go and then find your way there without getting lost.

Loch Eck Orienteers is the orienteering club for Argyll, Scotland. The club covers the whole of Argyll, but the majority of members are in the Lorn/Oban area. We have a very active junior section and cover all ages of adults, including some that compete at international level, but we also welcome newcomers to the sport.
